This is the final review for my annual Countdown to Halloween. This year, I invited you to join me as I attempted to gain some space on...

It’s impossible for me not to compare The Leech Woman (1960) with The Wasp Woman (1959.) Both are, in essence, about women seeking...

The 1924 silent classic, He Who Gets Slapped, did not air on TCM as part of its Lon Chaney marathon that I recorded on October 14, 2020....

It’s a good thing horror fans are such an accepting group, rarely participating in social media vitriol. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel...

This one is a real curiosity. It’s a documentary about UFOs made during the 1950s UFO craze that was sweeping the nation. I can’t say I...

I’m arriving late to this (slumber) party. As big a fan as I am of the “original” slasher films, there are several of their spawn that...

Subgenres within subgenres… Within the “nature gone wild/when animals attack” horror subgenre resides one that belongs exclusively to...

Not only was Guru, the Mad Monk (1970) a first-time watch for me, but it was also the first Andy Milligan film I’ve seen. The...

If Tod Browning’s Dracula (1931) is criticized for being too much like a play, then The Thirteenth Chair (1929) doesn’t have a chance! On...

If you’ve ever wanted to see Lon Chaney, “the Man of a Thousand Faces,” transform into one of his misshapen characters, there are a...

Today, as a special treat, I present an excerpt from a feature I wrote for the upcoming We Belong Dead publication, Mistresses of the...

Having been awed and amazed by previous Lon Chaney films that I’ve seen, I was a little disappointed in the one I’d heard most about: The...

Now comes Satellite in the Sky, a version of the mid-century British sci-fi film I’ve mentioned the last couple of days… but one with a...

The Strange World of Planet X (1958), aka Cosmic Monsters, aka The Cosmic Monster, belongs to that sometimes-odd sub-genre of mid-century...

This is going to be either a difficult film about which to write, or an easy one. First, it’s a documentary, so I can’t critique the...

Here we go again. I guess after four movies in the “Gamma 1” series, it’s time to admit that any continuity is spotty at best, regardless...

Well, I couldn’t have been any more wrong about what I thought the next movie in the “Gamma 1 Quadrilogy” was going to be, at least as...

Wow, talk about being disappointed. After my surprise affection for The Wild, Wild Planet, my expectations for the second film in the...

There’s a lot to love about The Wild, Wild Planet (1966), and I love a lot about it. From the opening shot of a futuristic city with...

There was a time I wouldn’t have considered giving Night of the Lepus (1972) a higher-than-average (or even average) rating. My memory of...
